Today was Ward 6 day at the National Building Museum‘s Iceberg exhibit. An hour before the museum opened to the general public, Ward 6 residents could get in to see the hottest (coolest?) exhibit in town – for free! As an extra bonus, councilmember Charles Allen was there, as well. A few pictures from the day:
While the exhibit did not have the interactive joy of last year’s beach, the subject matter was better explained this year.
Icebergs in general were described, their name, their size, their importance – and, of course the most infamous of icebergs – the one that sank the Titanic – was mentioned, as well.
The biggest berg allowed the visitor to climb through it.
At the top, you could see how little of an iceberg actually appears above the water.
The best way to get down? The slide.
One of those availing himself of this escape was none other than Ward 6’s Councilmember, Charles Allen.
Allen’s staff was there, as well.
Smaller icebergs were scattered around for the younger generation to play with.
Who knows what the Building Museum will come up with next? In the meantime, you have until September 5 to go!
